We're Playing It Like This (Part Ten)

We’re playing it like this on this Monday morning / afternoon but the science dropped is appropriate for any time frame! Digital Crate Digging Continues as we let the music play plus we’re dropping this good word after four five sixing  / doing the knowledge rebuking the ongoing mind game! We’re playing it like this, reminding my people of fire and ice episodes from California to New…

"Back In The Days", Oil painting on linen 40x40 cm. Unframed.

Available to purchase from @bsmtspace

This artwork participates in a Group Show of @bsmtspace - "VIGNETTES". Open until Jan. 14th, '24.

It depicts a B-girl (inspiration from dancer @_aaliyahdawkins_ who performed at Hip Hop Drawing session organized by @goodhandrawing @gowivflo during "Beyond The Streets, London" exhibition of @rogergastman @beyondthestreetsart in @saatchi_gallery ) on a background which consists of selection of cassettes with Old School Hip Hop and Break Dance music which I grew up with.

The B- girl symbolizes my nostalgia to much earlier times in my life when I used to break dance, inspired from "Freestyler" of @bomfunkmcsofficial as well as @drdre @2pac @eminem @mobdeep_official @cypresshill @publicenemy @ericbandrakim @teacha_krsone @wutangclan @djflash4eva and the Furious Five @nas and NWA @outtacomptonmovie @snoopdogg. This is not the full list. Just to name some.

The colours and the shapes are inspired from my love of music, abstract rhythms, energy, motion. The connection between them all.

William Michael Griffin Jr., better known by his stage name Rakim (born January 28, 1968), is an American rapper. One half of golden age hip hop duo Eric B. & Rakim, he is widely regarded as one of the most influential and most skilled MCs of all time. Rakim is the nephew of the late American R&B singer and actress Ruth Brown.  He grew up in Wyandanch, New York on Long Island, and became involved in the New York City hip hop scene when he was eighteen years old. Rakim, then known as Kid Wizard in 1985, made his first recordings live at Wyandanch High School. Rakim was initially introduced to the Nation of Islam in 1986, and later joined The Nation of Gods and Earths (also known as the 5 Percent Nation), and adopted the name Rakim Allah. On July 7, 1987, the duo released their debut album, Paid in Full, on the Island-subsidiary label 4th & B'way Records. The album peaked at #58 on the Billboard 200 chart and produced five singles: "Eric B. Is President", "I Ain't No Joke", "I Know You Got Soul", "Move the Crowd", and "Paid in Full".[16]Eric B. & Rakim's album Paid in Full was named the greatest hip hop album of all time by MTV in 2006, while Rakim himself was ranked #4 on MTV's list of the Greatest MCs of All Time. Steve Huey of AllMusic stated that "Rakim is near-universally acknowledged as one of the greatest MCs – perhaps the greatest – of all time within the hip-hop community." A reshuffling in MCA caused Rakim to be dropped from the label in 1994. As Rakim continued to struggle with legal problems, he secured a deal with Universal Records and began recording his solo debut album The 18th Letter in 1996. In November 1997, the album The 18th Letter was released. Expectations were high for Rakim, as the album debuted at #4 on the Billboard 200 and went certified Gold by the RIAA. Eric B. and Rakim reunited in 2018 for a series of live dates. Though Rakim hasn't released an album of new material in over a decade, his influence on hip-hop permeates the genre to this day. #rakim #ericb #ericbandrakim #musicthatraisedme #hiphop #rap #classic #legendary https://www.instagram.com/p/CPv_doULgCG/?utm_medium=tumblr
